Most have heard about the Unilect touchscreen machines eating
the 4,400 votes this November.
A Pennsylvania activists forced an investigation into the Unilect
machines in Mercer County, PA.
From a press release:
"The UniLect Patriot system didn't fail merely because the Election Director in Mercer (forced to resign after last November's election) didn't program it properly.
The programming failure applied to only 13 precincts there,
but 41 precincts there had severe problems, ranging to undervotes of an outrageous 70 - 80% in some areas.
That's 7 or 8 out of every 10 voters whose votes were thrown away, unrecoverably, by the faulty DRE voting system."
Also, PA had Michael Shamos come in to do this investigation, which is a conflict of interest since he is the person who certified the machines for PA, including the Unilect.
